Bad names to use for directories (Updated 9 17 2003).

"It's not enough to use different browsers (or even BrowserCam) to check your site's appearance. Back in May, I featured a company called Blackbaud, who makes software for non-profits. Their most important image -- which talked about Blackbaud's new 0% financing and 'how easily you can afford the building blocks of success' -- wasn't visible because they put it in a directory that was blocked by Norton Internet Security's ad-blocking feature." [xBlog: The visual thinking weblog | XPLANE]

The item quoted actually comes from the wonderful Web Pages That Suck, by Vincent Flanders. If you are using a web site to promote your company, check out the very long list of directory names provided in the post. And, as suggested, don't just check your site's appearance, also run it through site-blocking software.

Updated list here.
